[s-cars] Lowest octane for road trip?

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

Mike, my experience has been that for long hauls it's better to put higher octane than lower... not for the increased HP but for the increase gas mileage, at least that's my experience if I'm not lead footing it I get better gas mileage with higher octane than with lower... maybe it's all in my head, but I like it. 

For city driving 91 octane does just fine.

Driving to Rochester NY from NH on Wednesday.  This will be the first
time I've taken my car beyond 100 miles since I bought it.  I was
thinking that if I can resist the temptation of 23lb boost for 1 day,
maybe I could run 87 or 91 and save a couple bucks.

Good idea?  Bad?  Thoughts?



Mike
